New week: Plans, Math Centers, Freebies & More!!

It’ simply amazing to see the gains a Kindergartner can make in just a couple weeks of school!

This upcoming week I am going to attempt meeting with a few reading groups during Daily 5. I’m not exactly sure how it will go, but we’ll see 🙂 I feel as though telling the students you won’t be available during Daily 5 because you’ll be at your table- is completely different than me actually being back at my tables with students. Kids need to see things before they can truly process the idea.

Here’s what I have in my Guided Reading tub (so far). In the small circular container are letters for each student’s name. I will be working with the child’s names in my lower level group. In the pink container are a few pieces from the rhyming puzzle I have. I also have high frequency word cards & letter cards. The white sound boxes were a freebie on {this} post!

Here are the segmentation mats I had above! Grab them for free on this {site}

This week I will also be introducing that numbers can be represented in multiple ways! I will be having the students come to the carpet and first intro the numerals 1, 2, & 3. I will then show the students how numbers can be represented by their word. Lastly, show students how objects such as dots can represent numbers as well.

I assign 2 students to each tub. I will eventually resort to a rotation board, but because we are just starting I am assigning them to a tub myself. Our math centers are at the end of the day so they are a lot more "relaxed" as far as how quiet they need to be- compared to that of the morning literacy daily 5.

The playdoh shape mats are awesome. I was wondering if these can be edited. Our district wants us to use the word rhombus rather than diamond. Our students also have to identify the hexagon and trapezoid. Thank you for sharing all these great ideas!
